58. Noise pollution ...

There is nothing worse than having your cubical next to division's secretary ... who spends the whole day speaking trash with other chix ... the picture shown is for illustrative purpose ... actual packages are ugly and fat

57. Nostalgia strikes ...

The smell of pesticides always reminds me of the taste of cherry ... which I have missed for the last 5, 6 years ...

56. SCI-FI literacy journey ...

My journey started with Jool Vern, then Isaak Asimov (Robot laws) and I guess I stopped with Arthur C. Clarke ...

Last night in a moment of drunkenness it came to my mind that like the tripods in Rendezvous with Rama I am a trinity fan ... three type of teas ... three type of coffees ... three type of liquors ... three type of spices ... three type of shampoos ...

I'm loosing it ...

55. Margarita ...

Summer has not arrived yet ... but the Margarita season has started for sure.

I passed out on the balcony after 1 maybe 2 maybe 3 maybe 4 maybe 5 maybe 6 (I think I stopped at 6) shots of tequila ... and found myself shivering on the armchair 3 hours later ... the next day till afternoon ... felt like someone has hammered the left side of my forehead (from memoir's of an old man).

54. Salesman ...

I complained to my boss and he increased my salary and promised that my work load will decrease.

There is a saying in Persian that a good perfume should smell good and sell itself, no matter what the salesman is telling you ...

Well in real life that's not going to work ... instead they use a celebrity for tv-add and send Barenaked Ladies to shopping centres to force men to buy a perfume ...

Moral of story: you should shout for your own right ... silence means you are satisfied.

53. Scale ...

As an engineer I have learned 3 things among other stuff:
1. always look for a pattern
2. there is always something not working
3. make the best of the available data

I was wondering why they change kg to lbs scale in the gym every now and then ... I initially thought it has got to do with the days (odd/even) ... then one day I noticed that the scale has changed during the day ... and I thought when it breaks down they replace it ... but once the change was done in less than 10 minutes ...

It took me a whole fucking year ... to realise the scale dial has to sides and you can flip it and read the dial in lbs as well as kg ... I'm loosing it

52. Just 4 BDJ

We were always surprised and couldn't believe what we were hearing when our boss used to complain about his trips ... being told similar stuff by my boss made me draw these conclusion:

A rat doesn't dare to complain about his dull office, boring job and crap weather
But a pig complains about his long holidays, too much drinking and sands in his sandals ...

PS: 52 posts ... blogs anniversary ... not sure being -really rather than virtually- married leaves me enough time to keep up with writing.

51. Pam ...

Combination of elements I have mentioned in earlier posts made me see Borat against my believe that ... you should not laugh at other nation's customs ... though it's a fiction ... still humiliating a country to make people laugh is not a decent way to make money ... but is there any decent way to make money ...

And some scenes were totally Jack Ass style and ridicule rather than humor ...

Anyway me and Borat have something in common ... apart from being hairy ... I was like him so happy to find out that the most famous Canadian celebrity is Pamela Anderson according to my Lonely Plant guide ... it seems Canadians are in love with silicon valley too ...

Now that I am on movies ... let me confess that ... I also watched a screen-camed copy of Bearfest that was horrible as the recorder zipped up his jacket -not to get caught- whenever any one was walking in the screen.

PS1: My 10$ lottery ticket won 5$ ... what I should I call this good luck or bad luck ... the Jackpot was 38Million ... I used my prize money to buy some Irish equipments ... potato peeler and potato masher

PS2: Bad towing (80 dollars) increased my car's repair cost from 10 to 330 dollars ... tow truck invoice says they are not responsible for any damage ... what a Good Friday ... and I won't have my car for a while.

50. The Declaration of Independence ...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are:

- Life,

- Liberty, and

- The pursuit of Happyness

It sounds so gay ... as Google image search agrees ... why all men and not all people

Anyway I didn't like the movie (60 out of 100) ... the reasons I watched it in the first place were only boredom and fast download on Electronic-Donkey

The only line I liked from the movie was that ... we have the right to pursue happiness but not the right to have happiness itself.

49. Norouz ...

Ahourmazda finished the creation of the universe on the first day of spring ... Norouz ... and life started on earth ...

Grasses started sprouting, rivers started running and buds started blooming ...

The soul was created and the heart was struck with the bow of love on Norouz ... and the sun rised for the first time ... marking the start of the universe ... and my BD.
